Bookies set up the odds to even the money. As long as winning and losing bets equal out, they win. So the odds are set (and change as bets go down) not based upon some superior knowledge of who will win, rather based upon how people will bet.

Perhaps not as long as you might think. He'd finished 4th in the Vuelta in the previous year, and there was some talk that he had a legitimate shot at the TDF. I would guess in the 50-1 range.

50 to 1 Imagine the payout some people got!!!

As for me, I've always considered over 25 or 30 to 1 to be a long shot in my book so 50 to 1 is pretty long IMO. I really wouldn't put money on a 50 to 1. Well maybe a few bucks just in case but definately no serious bets unless I know something no one else does.

I know in South Carolina, betting over the internet is illegal, covered under the statute regarding placing bets over the phone.
